CAAS bags CAPA's air navigation services provider award

THE Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has been named the Air Navigation Services Provider of the Year by the Centre of Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA).

This new award seeks to recognize the "increasingly vital role that air navigation services providers and their governments can play in improving air traffic management, thereby supporting airline operational efficiencies and particularly in reducing emissions," a CAAS statement said.

"We are honoured to receive this award. It is another endorsement of our continuing efforts in ensuring efficient air traffic flow in Singapore and the region, thus enabling airlines to reduce operational costs and benefiting the environment. Besides initiatives to further improve the efficiency of aircraft movements at Changi Airport, CAAS will continue to work in close partnership with ICAO, IATA and other stakeholders to identify and implement air traffic management initiatives in the region," said Yap Ong Heng, director-general of Civil Aviation.
